Reviewed by Veronica Maher, Roger Williams University, Bristol, Rhode IslandThis self-help video would be useful in public and school libraries. It has a thought provoking message with realistic advice for young people. The main message is “In order to make a change you have to want to change.” The narrator does a good job introducing the goals you need to move forward. The students interviewed in the film are personable and convincing. The length is just right to hold one’s attention. Along with the DVD there is an accompanying teacher’s guide. The guide is also available for download from the DVD.
Highly Recommended
